Lab-grown meat is about to go mainstream: Synthetic hamburgers could be retailing at supermarkets at a price of USD 10 within two years as they move from being lab-grown to factory-made, according to Reuters. Lab-grown meat first emerged as a possibility six years ago when Dutch Mosa Meat’s co-founder Mark Post grew a burger from animal cells at a cost of EUR 250k (USD 280k) apiece. With concern about climate change, animal welfare and individual health on the rise, demand for the so-called clean meat alternatives is skyrocketing, and the rush to take the tech from labs and apply it in scaled-up factories could bring the cost of producing a burger to as low as EUR 9.
